A High-quality Drum Mic from Sennheiser!

Miking drums can be tricky, and you often end up with a "forest" of mic stands around the kit, which can be awkward. Here's a clean, easy-to-mount solution! The Sennheiser e 908D delivers a clear, resonant sound, while its integral shock absorber eliminates handling noise. Easily mounted and directed to the sound using a flexible boom and the clip supplied, the e 908D can be positioned optimally at the sound source. The e 908D includes an intelligent preamp with a multi-function LED for cable, phantom power and level check.

Sennheiser e 908D Condenser Microphone at a Glance:
  • Specifically designed for drum miking
  • Minimal handling noise and easy mounting

Specifically designed for drum miking
The Sennheiser e 908D is a professional pre-polarized condenser microphone designed for picking up drum sounds. Try it about one or two inches above the
drumhead, directed towards the center of the head. The fundamental-to-overtones ratio can be adjusted by changing the angle of the microphone. The most balanced
results are obtained at an angle of 30-60°. The e 908D's extended dynamic range and well-balanced frequency response deliver outstanding signal quality with excellent projection and the lowest possible distortion. The e 908D exhibits excellent directivity across the whole frequency range that enables the mic to handle the highest signal levels without feedback.

Minimal handling noise and easy mounting
The e 908D's extensive damping and shock mounting isolate the capsule from extraneous vibrations, impact, and handling noise. The long, flexible gooseneck enable the mic to be optimally positioned on the drum. Due to their phantom powering capability, the e 908D is especially suitable for use with professional mixing consoles. Alternatively, it can be used with any evolution bodypack transmitter for wireless applications.

The e 908D condenser microphone comes with multi-function MZH 908 D drum clamp.


Sennheiser e 908D Condenser Microphone Features:
  • Exceptionally lively, clear sound
  • Frequency response 40Hz-20kHz
  • Maximum SPL 147dB

Sennheiser e908d Cross-stick Capture

by Danny G. from Denver, CO
June 9, 2011
Music Background: FOH Engineer
Sennheiser never disappoints! I just picked up a this e908d b-stock and what a deal! I use it as a second snare mic to capture the cross-stick. The 90 degree head is perfect for this. I had been u... read more [+]sing a Crown GLM-200, but placement was sometimes tricky and always involved gaff tape. I really dig how this mic can just clip to the rim and be out of the way. I clip it on close to the main snare mic and follow the curve of the rim with the goose neck toward the drummer, parallel to the head. The capsule, with windscreen attached, is placed where the butt of the drummer's stick touches the head when playing cross-stick. Not where the stick hits the rim. I press the capsule down just inside the rim with the windscreen touching the head over the drum shell pointing down. I then place the main mic with the diaphragm just inside the rim, close to the head and aimed at the center of the snare. The two mics are equidistant from the center of the head this way and both are placed above the top head. I roll off all the low end from the e908 and bring it up in the mix just under the main mic and the result is a thick, full sounding snare with lots of tone and a well blended cross-stick sound. It prevents having to over-compress or dive for the snare fader every time the drummer starts playing soft. The e908 also picks up the snares and bottom head doing away with the need for a bottom mic and phasing worries. This is especially cool when mixing reggae or any style where cross-stick is played often. I highly recommend this mic. The e908 is an excellent microphone and I am very pleased with the latest addition to my mic pack! close [-]
